Osama Mersal Supporter Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+02:00)	Hi, Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today. 1) First of all, sorry for the late reply due to a higher workload. Please let me know the answer to the following questions. 1- How do you translate the strings automatically? 2- Is the languages folder set to be writable? 3- Does this issue happen to strings from the exact plugin/theme or randomly? 2) It's unrelated to the issue, but according to your Debug.info, the WP memory limit needs to be increased. PHP memory is fine, but WordPress uses 40Mb as default. The minimum requirements for WPML are 128 MB. (Kindly check this page https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/) You can increase it by adding the following code in your wp-config.php file right before the */ That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. /* line: /* Memory Limit */ define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M'); define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M'); Best regards, Osama

patrickA-12	hi Osama, thanks for your reply. i have crawled my templates for strings und used the strings translation management to translate them manually. since this did not worked properly (i needed to have "look for strings while pages are rendered" activated in order to see them in front-end) i tried the automatic translation. now it is working (for some reason). iam still not sure what was (or still is) the problem but it seems to work now. guess we can see it as solved for the moment.
